Numerically the first of 11 smart Mercedes Benz Citaros acquired from Kinchbus in December. They were refurbished and repainted at Blackburn, Lancashire prior to arrival. Several of this batch wear branding for service 38 (Glasgow - Paisley - Johnstone/Kilbarchan). Caught in beautiful afternoon Spring sunshine on Glasgow Bridge.
Having numerically been the oldest B10BLE in service in Aberdeen for a couple of years now, 62149 days are numbered with it due for withdrawal and transfer shortly once replacements arrive from Scotland East.
Seen here at King Street Depot with another recent cascade, 61230 which is now in use.
Though not numerically the first, RM8 was actually the first production Routemaster delivered. It was a Sidcup garage celebrity in February 1982 when I photographed it in Woolwich on route 161.
Numerically consecutive from the previous eastbound train 59202 and 59203 head west towards Merehead with the 12:38 service from Acton TC. This monster train, my lad reported 50 wagons, will have been formed from two trains from different origins around London at Acton. It will return loaded this evening, the loaded version having a 4,400T loading weight.
Ironically the last time I visited the area on 23 June 2017, the same pair worked east through Westbury at 23:30.
Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse Urban
Numerically the second oldest bus in the Great North West service fleet, seen here at Queens Road Depot.
These haven't got much service life left, with the arrival of 66 plate E200s and the rest of the Plymouth Citybus B7 batch.
This is the first shot of the Dandelion set... This is hard to take with the wind... Have a nice week!

Numerically the first of Manchester's Metrolink trams - number 1001 - in some difficulty during the evening peak. As I recall, a points' failure had led to her becoming stranded across the junction with Mosley Street.
G M Buses 5123 (SND 123X), 4747 (A747 NNA), plus an unidentified Metrobus, line up to tip-toe gingerly past the stricken LRV, under the watchful guidance of a PTE supervisor.
Manchester, Mosley Street 17/06/1993.
SG621 will be numerically the last of the Dublin Bus Volvo B5TL with Wrightbus Gemini Bodies. In 2019 the compnay went into Adminstration and was saved Ryse Energy and owned by Jo Bamford. From SG607 to 621 were delayed by over 6 months due to this and have now started to be delived, SG613 is seen on a 41 service from Swords County Dublin on Dorset Street near the City Centre
Greater Manchester PTE: 5004 (GBU 4V) a Metro Cammell bodied MCW Metrobus, numerically the fourth of this type to be delivered and in this scene allocated to Princess Road Garage when captured at Flixton Town's Gate terminus about to operate on service 257 to Manchester Piccadilly.
The first 10 Metrobuses were non standard here featuring the London specification of Hydraulic brakes. The buses were all allocated in batches of five. The first five (5001-5) were allocated to Princess Road and the next five (5006-10) to Oldham. However in March 1981 they were replaced at each of these garages by slightly newer examples with the GMT standard specification of air brakes with Oldham receiving 5056-60 and Princess Road receiving 5061-5 to replace 5001-5.
The batch of ten Hydraulic braked examples would remain with Greater Manchester Transport until deregulation and all ten were withdrawn in October 1986 and offered for sale after only seven years here. All ten finding ready buyers including London Transport which took 5 of them. including 5004.

Numerically the first of the Wright Streetlites delivered new to Western in 2015 to replace the ageing Volvo PS's.
After ten years service on Arran they were withdrawn last summer and replaced by a fleet of relatively new Evora's and whilst the Streetlites were regularly used in service on the mainland, the Evoras havent as yet.
Numerically, Greater Manchester's first production 'standard' Daimler Fleetline, Park Royal-bodied 7151 was based at Rochdale and is seen here in October 1985 on Gladstone Street, Bacup, having just left the town centre on its return journey to its home town.
Numerically the last of the BYD E200ev's currently allocated to Kilmarnock, operating one of the busier Kilmarnock locals.
Explored : Many thanks... The first one in a while :D
Happy Sunday :D
It is when I took flowers pictures, that I realised how much I like this subject for my art. You trully can create amazing flowers shots, and I wish you'll appreciate my work!
Numerically the last RTL , #1631 , although by this time it had passed through Aldenham a few times. OLD861 was allotted to #RT4794 , the final RT Type in to stock. OLD862 was at one time muted to be for #RM1 , but of course it finished as SLT56.

Numerically the first bus due to return to Glasgow as TITP duty GL01, First Glasgow Volvo B7 32584 was quite a late arrival at Strathallan.
Now numerically the oldest Enviro in the fleet, 19227 is pictured as it pulls into North Manchester General Hospital, working route 156 from Shudehill Interchange to Middleton. Fellow oldies (well for Manchester standards) currently based at Middleton are 19241, 46, 47, 50, 61 & 62.
Numerically the first of 9 Yutong E10 placed in service by Go North East on its 53 & 54 services linking Newcastle, Gateshead & Saltwell Park
The second numerically of the small batch of Leyland Titan/Park Royal new to GMPTE in 1979 is ANE2T seen in Glossop depot. This is now happily preserved
Yesterday was a numerically insignificant anniversary of my birth (assuming you ignore that bit in the picture from yesterday where I went on about reaching an age I remember my grandmother being), so I took the afternoon and ran up to Illinois Beach State Park in Lake County, just south of the Wisconsin border. I walked around in the snow and ice for a while, stopping every so often to set up my tripod and take a picture of myself in a position that looks more precarious than it is. I'm on ice next to the lake, but it's sitting over the beach. I might break a leg if I fall through, but I won't drown.
If you've been following this page for more than 365 days, you might remember that I post a similar picture taken on my birthday every year that I put in an album called "Mile Marker," then do math to calculate how many miles the Earth has dragged me around the Sun. This year, the odometer rolled up 30,975,442,308 miles, all spinning in a corkscrew as the Sun pulls us all along around the center of the Milky Way. That's a lot of miles. I should probably ask for the high-mileage blend the next time I get my oil changed.
One advantage to having a birthday in February is that you can't really tell what my weight is doing in these pictures, unless I take the picture someplace in the South or global climate change has sent an unusually warm winter to Illinois. It's been a cold winter this year, but the yellow coat gives you a bit of an idea, because I haven't been able to wear that coat for a while. After years of increasing mass, I've finally managed to reverse things and have lost about 40 pounds since the last one of these Mile Marker pictures. (Which ... well, my camera was dying, so it's hard to tell with how dark that picture was, but that blue coat was looking pretty tight.) Now I'm back down around where I was when I had Robin take this Mile Marker picture almost a decade ago. I won't pretend to have accomplished this through hard work and sacrifice. It owes more to a doctor scaring the bejeezus out of me with heart monitors and insulin injections, then handing me one of those fancy miracle drugs. I make no apologies for jumping on the miracle drug craze.
Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse Urban
Numerically the second oldest bus in the Great North West service fleet, seen here at Failsworth on the 52.

The last Gemini numerically delivered to Lincolnshire RoadCar in the summer of 2006 was fleet number 926 which became 16944 with the takeover by Stagecoach shortly afterwards.
In 2023 it is the last remaining closed top example, having been repainted in 'Local' livery at Hull in June 2021. This followed lots of bodywork attention in Lincoln, including a new rear engine panel. Sister vehicle 16939 also received the 'Local' colours at the same location in July 2022 but was never used in service.
In April 2023 the 1 Skegness - Chapel St Leonards will no longer serve Ingoldmells village
BMW from Luxembourg. It is carrying a personal plate from the original all numeric country issue. This would have originally been issued in the late 1950's.
The highest Citaro at Worcester numerically, 64045 carries the Nimrod branding for route 35 between Worcester and Blackpole. Nimrod is the name of the museum for famous composer Edward Elgar’s birthplace and one of his most famous songs, though myself I had to research this, so I hope it means something to the current older generation of Worcester. Like its three 08, two 07 and sole 04 plate sisters, it was new to First Beeline for use on the Slough Heathrow 7 Series of routes. Of the 2008 batch new to Slough, 64046-8 have stayed there gaining Orange and Green colour coded branding. Pictured in Warndon on route 35 to Blackpole
Today's date of December 12, 2012 has been a special one for many people who enjoy numerology, and even NOAA's GOES-15 satellite got into the act. The date 12-12-12 is the last major numerical date in this century for those using the Gregorian or Christian calendar.
NOAA's GOES-15 satellite captured a visible image of the Pacific Ocean on 12-12-12 at 1200 UTC, tossing in a "bonus 12," said Dennis Chesters, project scientist of NASA's GOES Project at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. where the image was created. The time 1200 UTC means Universal Time Coordinate, and during standard time the U.S. East coast is 5 hours behind that, meaning that the GOES-15 image was captured at 7 a.m. EST.
The image does show something numerically significant, the fourth tropical cyclone in the southern Pacific Ocean. Newborn Tropical Storm Evan was born today, Dec. 12, 2012 at 1500 UTC (10 a.m. EST) and appears as a rounded area of clouds in the bottom left corner of the image. Tropical Storm Evan is about 145 nautical miles west of Pago Pago, American Samoa. Pago Pago is the capital of American Samoa. For more about Evan, visit NASA's Hurricane page at: www.nasa.gov/hurricane.

This is numerically the youngest solo on the island with 3815-3819 now being operated by sister company Salisbury Reds however 3819 remains in blue livery
Sister 3813 is now in Southern Vectis green livery
I wonder how many years these will be on the island before they get replaced
This bus only has 1 wheelchair space but other blue solos have 2 spaces for the St Geroge's School runs
I tried to get a shot of 3814 half an hour earlier but failed so I went to Ryde and caught another bus back to Tesco before heading back into Ryde
Here's an inside shot of similar 3803 : www.flickr.com/photos/191035132@N03/50953231716/in/datepo...
Here's a shot of 3813 in green livery: www.flickr.com/photos/191035132@N03/50627833648/in/datepo...
In 2003, British philosopher Nick Bostrom published a paper that proposed the universe we live in might in fact really be a numerical computer simulation. To give this a bizarre Twilight Zone twist, he suggested that our far-evolved distant descendants might construct such a program to simulate the past and recreate how their remote ancestors lived.
He felt that such an experiment was inevitable for a supercivilization. If it didn't happen by now, then in meant that humanity never evolved that far and we're doomed to a short lifespan as a species, he argued.
As off-the-wall as this sounds, a team of physicists at the University of Washington (UW) recently announced that there is a potential test to seen if we actually live in The Lattice.
-from news.discovery.com/space/are-we-living-in-a-computer-simu...
He also has an equation (see Wikipedia) to calculate how many people are actually living in a virtual reality simulation.
Some people just have too much time on their hands.
